The automotive salvaging industry is a productive one that encourages re-use of parts that are no longer needed in the vehicle of origin. Typically these cars are salvaged once the owner no longer desires to drive the vehicle because of its age or state of disrepair. The vehicle is then placed in the salvage yard, stored for an unspecified period and used to the liking of the salvage yard owner.

The parts from a car may usually be removed by a trained mechanic or anyone who is skilful at vehicular repairs and maintenance. The external parts like the mirrors, headlights bumper and fender may be removed first and used if they are in comparatively good condition. It is of significance to note that some parts may not need to be entirely attractive to be sold. For example a scratched bumper can be bought by a customer and resprayed to look like brand new. However for the major parts of the car inclusive of the engine, transmission and radiator, proper functioning most be observed before it can be sold. Some manufacturers will purchase major parts that are not working and recondition them for resale. But besides the auto parts that are found in the automobile the metal from them may also be made into scrap metals that may be sent to recycling factories that will process the scrap metals to remake new metals for use. These newly formed metals are also very likely to be re-used in the automotive industry. The use of salvage yards is hence very essential in assisting in the conservation of products and raw materials. By finding ways to reuse old parts many manufacturers can reduce their production costs and the development of new parts.

Kansas has a booming automotive salvaging industry like many other states across the country. These may be found using local directories or more conveniently online sources.

Lets start out with the owner’s manual and automotive maintenance. My owner’s manual threatens to void my warranty if I do not perform the recommended service on time. Well let’s look at what is recommend automotive maintenance. In my manual (yours may be different) it states that for normal driving an oil change is due every 3,000 miles or 3 months.

Then you keep reading and it says for fleet vehicles oil changes are needed every 4,500 miles or 6 months. What are they talking about with fleet vehicles? I called the 800 number and asked for the official explanation, which is high mileage use or long trips equaling more than 9,000 miles a year would be considered fleet type use. Well to me this is what normal driving is. So according to the manufacturer my automotive maintenance should be done under the fleet automotive maintenance schedule. Everybody I know puts more then 9,000 miles a year on his or her vehicle. The national average for miles put on a single vehicle has risen from 10,000 miles in the 80’s to 15,000 miles a year in the 90’s to present day. So most of the nation should be on the fleet automotive maintenance schedule along with me. I added up the price difference between the 2 schedules in my own personal service manual. Over a 75,000-mile 5-year period the price difference or savings by going with the fleet schedule was around $500.00 dollars by increasing the automotive maintenance service intervals. But even more important then the money savings, is that this means less visits for auto service. As we have learned every time you avoid auto service appointment your avoiding scams and rip-offs overcharges and poorly done work. These items together are priceless over a five-year period. What did the manufacture mean about voiding my warranty.

Well I have seen this first hand. The manufacturer will not honor the warranty if the vehicle was abused. Using the fleet schedule is not abuse it’s what is recommended on my vehicle. The dealer and manufacturer will have the burden of proof to claim neglect. This is very difficult and usually only happens under extreme neglect, like when the engine oil looks like tar from lack of oil changes. Now this is important I am not saying to not service your vehicle regularly. I am saying do services only when it is needed. Automotive maintenance Owner’s manuals are different for every vehicle. Study your manual and how it relates to your driving conditions and stick to what is really recommended. I was changing my own personal oil way too much. The point was driven home at my newest job. The government fleet I work for has 1,800 pieces of equipment. The cars and light trucks get their oil changed every 6 months or 4,500 miles. Automotive maintenance services are almost never late due to a high tech notification system. When the vehicle is due, it comes in for auto service! After a 5 year 100,000 mile study there were no engine failures in the entire fleet. To me this means 4,500 miles or 6 months is good for me also. Now on your vehicle I stress to study the owners manual and see what is best for you and your vehicle.

Vehicle owner’s manuals are not usually user friendly. The manufacturer probably does this on purpose. A confused owner will most likely put their trust in the dealer to guide them in needed automotive maintenance and repairs. This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The dealer will put you on the schedule with the most frequent service intervals and push you towards over servicing your vehicle. The automotive maintenance section is usually toward the back of the manual. I recommend reading this section four to five times or until it is completely understood. Do not be afraid to call the customer assistance line and ask questions. The price for this little used information service was added to the price of the vehicle that you purchased. The customer assistance hot line is important to the manufacturer. Do to the fact they are trying to build brand loyalty and future sales by providing courteous friendly customer service Become an authority or expert on the required automotive maintenance of your specific vehicle and know what is needed before you go in for service. When the service advisor starts throwing up-sell auto service at you and you shut him down with facts and knowledge you will change the shops attitude about selling you auto service you don’t need.

In the modern era, the old commercial principle completely lifestyle subversion, market camp 4C replace the 4P mode, you can see, the customer needs, cost considerations, the purchase of convenience and the brands and consumers interact with communication has become a key factor affecting the enterprise. Enterprise product development, marketing model and so has the era of customer proposition.

Consumers to determine the choice of lifestyle has become an important factor in the past, when we stood in the enterprise perspective, the products are mostly independent of each other today, when we stand on the customer’s lifestyle point of view, they are composed of products and between products, restrictive relationship between the industry and the industry and constitutes a wonderful consumer chain.

Consumption chain hidden in the way of life, otherwise unrelated products linked together to form a new gift consumption chain. For example, when a customer bought a sport utility vehicle, it represents a series of hidden consumption demand. First of all, the automotive needs of conservation and decoration, which gave birth to the car accessories; Second, it means that the demand for outdoor products, such as camping and leisure products, and gave birth to the automotive gifts, like vehicle rescue tools and automotive supplies, that is, all consumer behavior The gift will lead to consumer, consumer lifestyles determine the consumption chain of automotive supplies.

If the huge recruitment banner is just a simple jobs, Remarks from the banner you are looking for is not just work, you find not just salary, the company provides you with enough room for growth and salary space text prompts you can see the rapid development of automotive supplies business enterprises into enterprises have grown rapidly and internal supporting lag “deadlock, the rapid development of enterprises so that it faced a serious lack of personnel phenomenon, the promotion of space and good once again the rapid development of prospects business booming, this is a common problem faced by the enterprise into all the depths of the automotive supplies industry.
